Robyn Brown hasn’t always gotten along with her sister Sister Wives, but they do find common ground in their marriage to Kody Brown. In an exclusive clip from the Sunday, September 17, episode, Robyn, 44, and Meri Brown realize that they’ve both kept track of the amount of days Kody, 54, has spent with each of his wives.
“I remember there was a time where it wasn’t so good [between us],” Meri, 52, tells Robyn. “And he kept telling me, ‘You’re getting all this extra time. I’m with you all the time and I’m with you more than I am Janelle or Christine, blah, blah, blah.’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t see it.’ So, I literally started keeping track, not of where he was, but when he was with me, and I was less than a third.”
Meanwhile, Robyn finds it “really funny” that Meri used to do it because she used to do it as well. “There was, like, a month or two in Vegas where Christine was saying he was never spending time at her house,” Robyn says. “And I remember thinking, ‘This is really strange.'” I get the impression he hasn’t been here at all.’ So I started looking into it, and I discovered the same thing: he wasn’t spending as much time with me.”
In a confessional interview, Kody explains that he did once spend about a month with Christine. “I had three other wives complaining,” he recalls. “But [Christine] quit complaining, and I said, ‘I’m just testing something, but I want to see if this person’s going to be happy.’ And it worked, but it was, like, literally the other wives got one day, two days out of a month. It was ridiculous.”
Christine, who announced her split from Kody in November 2021, confirms that there was once a month where her then-husband spent more time with her, but the blissful situation didn’t last.
“I remember thinking, ‘Oh, my gosh, he’s going to finally balance out his schedule. This is going to be super awesome,’” Christine, 51, tells the camera. “And then it went right back to where we really didn’t see him that often and it was only in the evenings. He just preferred to be over at Robyn’s house the rest of the time. For one month, I got him as much as Robyn got him the rest of the time — the rest of the 59 months. Because he was not at Janelle’s house either, and we all know he wasn’t at Meri’s house.”
Kody was already legally married to Meri and in another spiritual union with Janelle, 54, when Christine began her spiritual marriage to him in 1994. Robyn became a member of the family in 2010. Kody divorced Meri four years later so that he could officially marry Robyn and adopt her children from a prior relationship.
Kody and Meri were still in a spiritual union at the time, but they declared their separation in December 2022 after Christine led the charge. That same month, Janelle disclosed that she and Kody had called it quits on their marriage, leaving Robyn as his sole survivor.
